This painting was a challenge to pull off. It was hard to contrast the bumble bee enough against the busy background and, at the same time, keep it blended into the same busy background! I like the complementary vibrations of blue violets and yellows throughout the painting and want the viewer to translate viscerally the visual confusion into the buzzing sound of the bee. Does it make any sense?
